Jump to PostThen type:
erase conhar*.lnk
The ~1 means it's too lazy to show the whole file name because it's too long. :-)EDIT: This was a response to the last comment on the first page, I didn't notice the other 3 pages.:sad:

U can delete this file, there's a small utility to delete such type of files, its UNLOCKER, download this file, its a free utility, install it. Right click on the file which u wanna deleted click on unlocker, then a window opens up, then click on unlock …
Open up a command prompt window. This is performed by typing "command" at the run box on the start menu.
From the black box that pops up, navigate to your Desktop directory...try "cd C:\windows\desktop" only without the quotes.
Then type "dir", again without the quotes. Look for the filename that you're trying to delete. If say, the filename is "movie3 .mpg" on your desktop, then it's likely there is a "special" character after the 3.
There may be an extended ASCII character in the files name. Windows doesn't know how to interpret that, so it basically gives up when you try to delete it. It just doesn't understand it.
It made for some interesting fun years ago...heh. Drove people completely nuts!
Anyway, lemme know what the dir command shows for that particular file. :)
or you could try booting into safe mode ,and deleting it that way ,hit f8 on bootup to go into safe mode .
ya i tried safe mode and it wont delete i also tried to rename the file in DOS and it wont rename cause the file name is hella long and there isint enought room to write.
ookay feigned,
i did what us aid and this whole list poped up and the files on there but how do i delete it after that??? :(
And it also sais there is to many paremeters. :(
you need to type, DEL with a space between DEL and C:\ . then the path and file name ,something like
Del c:\windows\desktop\getthehelloffmycomputer.off
nope...it sais 2 many paremeters! :(

What is the name of the file that the mpeg is saved? Where is it located? If you provide that information, we(Tech Talk Community) can provide you the path to deleting it in
Is the file in the C:\Windows directory? If it is the command is
DEL C:\WINDOWS\UNSORT~1.MPG
